Every believer is indwelt by the Spirit of God. So how could a believer ever think of taking a body in which the Holy Spirit dwells and using it for vile purposes? Not only is the believer's body the shrine of the Holy Spirit, but in addition, the believer belongs to God. It is not for believers to take their bodies and use them the way they desire.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 states that our bodies are temple of the Holy Spirit, and were bought at a price, so we should honor God with our bodies. This implies that we should take care of our bodies and treat them with respect as they are a gift from God.

Bible quiz questions of 1 and 2 Corinthians?

What is the famous verse about love in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8? What metaphor does Paul use to describe the church in 1 Corinthians 12? In 2 Corinthians 5:17, what does Paul say happens to those who are in Christ? What is the "thorn in the flesh" that Paul talks about in 2 Corinthians 12:7?


Did Jesus ascended with his Physical body or Spiritual body?

According to the Bible Jesus as a whole was taken up to heaven; both, I suppose. Jesus ascended with his Spiritual Body."But some man will say, How are the dead raised up and with what body do they come? Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened except it die; and that which thou sowest thou sowest not that body that shall be" (I Corinthians xv, 35-37). "It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body" (44) "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God" (50). Jesus' physical body must be buried somewhere.


Where did Paul say What do you have that you did not receive?

Paul said "What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?" in his first letter to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 4:7). This statement emphasizes the idea that everything we have is ultimately a gift from God, and we should therefore not boast as if it were of our own doing.


When was the book of 1 Corinthians written?

What epistles did Paul write at the height of his career?

What is stewarship?

A stewardship is when one is given a responsibility. I have a stewardship to care for my wife and children, even though they are all married and have families of their own. I have a stewardship as patriarch over their families. To say that one has a stewardship gives the responsibility more importance if you like. It is one that you must not fail to carry out.

What Bible verse did God call us to be His hands and feet?

1 Corinthians 12 says Christians are members of the Body of Christ, and it breaks it down with the imagery of actual body parts:If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body," is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body," is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole werehearing, where would be the smelling? But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased. And if they were all one member, where would the body be? vv. 15-19


What does the Torah say about stewardship?

The Torah says much about stewardship. A person is to be a good steward of their money as shown in Malachi. Malachi discusses this when he speaks of tithing at the end of the book. Furthermore, he or she is to be a good steward of their time as well. This means having a schedule and avoind doing nothing unless you have worked more than 12 hours in one day. With both of these combined, God is glorified through them.
